A mass outbreak of ‘senioritis’ is expected among all Trinity High School seniors, said Principal Denise Lackey, but the cure is in sight. Graduation will be held Tuesday, June 8.

The effects of senioritis are well known to most experienced educators.

Symptoms include frequent “I dunno” responses and rolling eyes. Parents have symptoms, too. “How much will it cost?” sums up all the worries.

THS nurse Jacquovia Morehead warned that the “disease” is contagious and more complicated symptoms are expected as students and staff feel the pressures of end-of-course testing and senior boards.

Until the cure arrives June 8, educators recommend that seniors follow this strict schedule:

Today: About 127 seniors will present their graduation projects.

Saturday, May 15: The prom is at Showplace in High Point.

Thursday, May 20: Seniors will receive their yearbooks after the class picnic, set from 5 to 6 p.m. in the theater lobby.

Friday, May 21: The THS tradition of capping will be held at 9 a.m. in the gymnasium.

Sunday, June 6: Baccalaureate will be held at 6 p.m. at Trinity Baptist Church.

Tuesday, June 8: A senior breakfast and graduation practice will be held at 8:30 a.m. in the stadium.

Graduation is at 6 p.m. In case of rain, graduation will take place in the gymnasium.

If graduation is held in the stadium, each senior may invite 10 people. If graduation is held in the gym, tickets are limited to four.
